TIE STATE COMMITTEE.

The Republican State Committee organized
Yesterday and, we believe, organized victory.
The Committee as now mado up means hard
work for the election of the Republican ticket
and it means clean work as well.
Mr.. Cornelius N. Bliss, the new chairman,
needs no eulogy in this city, where his high
character as business man and his unseliish
devotion to the Republican party continued for
so many years, are well known. His acceptance
of the position of chairman is proof that the
party goes into the campaign under the leader
ship of its best elements, and puts sufficient
negative, in itself, upon any charges that the
Committee is to be managed in the interest OF
any faction. Mr.. Bliss is man OF Independent
character, and will be chairman in reality as
well as in name In past years he has been
known as warm political and personal friend
of the late President Arthur. The fact that
he is now chosen to this place by the unani-
nous action of Committee which is certainly
not under the control of that "wing' Of the
party, so Ear as that or any of the other wings
can still be said to exist at all, shows how'
fractional differences have faded out. The
action of the Committee was in all respects
harmonious, as that of the Saratoga Conven-
ton was and it was harmony brought about
by spirit of genuine Cancellation among all
interests, and by determination to unite IN
order to carry the State this year and next.
The stories that the Committee are controlled
by this interest or that are set at rest by the
fact that probably no one interest in the
Committee is strong enough TO control 1t.
The Committee is controlled by the union OF
all interests, and this union means that the
party goes into this fight to win.
One proof of this is the proportion Of new
and young blood in the Committee. Three
fourths of the members are new selections.
Surely this isn't Committee of "party hacks"
S. V. White, the new treasurer needs no
introduction to Newly OrKe rs. General John
n. Knapp, who has been made chairman OF
| the Executive Committee. is a man Of long
experience in the politics Of the State. Frank
| l.. Smith, the new secretary, is young man
| with his spurs yet TO win, but the results
| will doubtless justify the selection Every
one will admit that the plan of having score
tary who is a member of the Committee is an
| improvement upon the system OF outside
secretaries. which has caused some embar-
easements in the past.
This makes a good beginning Now if the
leaders of the party everywhere will go to
work in the same spirit the prospect will be
bright. II must be remembered that New
York still holds, and probably always will
hold, its place as the pivotal State. The re-
suit this year will have an important bearing
upon the Presidential election. II the Repub-
licans of New-York elect their ticket this fall.
as they can do, they will have taken a long
step toward redeeming the country from Dem
ocratic control.

{" RELIEEU

The Treasury comes TO the relief OF
Wall Street Dispatches to "Thc World'
make known that the President himself took
the responsibility of ordering the step. in the
absence Of Secretary Fairchiid the Assistant
Secretary being unwilling to depart from pre-
vious instructions. Whatever good or harm
the step may do. the President personally de-
serves the credit or the blame. 1t is obvious
that Wall Street operators, and bankers who
are more or less interested as lenders in the
price Of securities, regard the Presidents order
as highly praiseworthy. believing that it will
relieve speculation and legitimate business.
The President no doubt believes that the
measure will do good, and that ii has become
necessary. The fact that everybody expects
speculative advance in prices as the immc-
date result, il il influenced the President to
step which he judged otherwise proper, may
fairly be reclxoncd as one of legitimate inilu-
cnce, because the industries and commerce OF
the country had come to depend in some
measure upon the sales OF securities, the
building of railroads, the restoration OF con-
fdence and the marketing Of products at re-
muncratiye prices.
So much may fairly be said in favor Of this
measure. II was urged by many of those sup
posed TO be most cOnvcrsant with financial
needs, and il was believed to be a ncedfu
relief for legitimate business and desirable
arrest of the depression Of prices. IL will be
observed that the serious objections to this
policy are yet to be tested by experience In
due time il will be seen whether it helps lcgiti-
mate business rather than speculation whether
in this way it creates larger demand for
money than it satisfies; and whether il only
dcfcrs embarrassment which tends to grow
bigger and more threatening with the preva-
lcnce Of speculation. Everybody will heartily
rejoice if it accomplishcs all the good that its
advocates have desired, without mourning any
of the evils apprehcnded.
An uplifting in speculative markets is not
necessarily good or a bad thing IN itself.
1t gives money to some people, which other
people have to pay. 1t makes prices higher
for the producer, and higher also for the con-
sumer. But the prevalence of excessive
speculation. in securities, products ard lands,
is always and necessarily an evil. IL divcrts
capital from productive uses it seduces many
men from the safe and honest paths OF indus
try; it encourages oyer-production, excessive
building, oyer-hasty development; it places
the country at disadvantage in foreign trade ;
it enlarges the volume OF Indebtedness and
multiplics the risks OF commerce and industry.
The speculative force may be a necessary one.
but its excessive activity Is always an evil.
and in this country ii always tends to excess.

ANGLOlMERICAN ARBITRATION.

The arbitration memorial to DO presented
TO the President before many weeks by an
English delegation from Westminster is hailed
by French enthusiast as triumph for civ
iIization. NJ. Emile dc Lavelcye contends
in "The Pail Mall Gazette''N that the creation
OF a court to which all disputes
arising between Great Britain and
the United States could be referred
would avert all dangers of war between
ngish-spcaking nations. He easily proves
how important it is for England by a brotherly
union with America to do away with any
danger threatening her from the West. 1t is
already difficult for the British Government
TO defend worldwide Empire, 10 keep India
under control and to avoid being drawn into pro
tracted conflict on the Continent over the
Eastern Question. NJ. de Lavclcye reminds
Englishmen that in a few years the United
States will have a hundred million inhabitants
and DO irresistible either for attack or for
defence, and that their country if compelled
while carrying all the burdens of Empire TO
fight the Western giant, may be reduced
"to the condition Of secondary Power. as
was the fate of the Netherlands in the eigh-
teenth century" This may be a cogent argu-
ucHt III ldNOr VI INC pCfuianthV dIDitIdtiOn
court from an English point of view but it
does not appeal with equal force to Americans.
They will not be moved to sanction brotherly
anion with England by considerations Of their
OWN superior position and resources and the
necessity for safe guarding the worldwide
Empire against their own irresistible might
in the future. A nations diplomatic policy
should be directed by enlightened sclf-intcrst
ard not by sentimental regard for the dangers
and weakness Of a rival Power.
N. de Laveleye considers that there are
strong hopes of uniting in vast confcdcra-
ton all branches Of the Anglo-Saxon race
the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the
Cape and New-Zealand; and declares that the
union would only be complete il the United
States were induced to join it-a contingency
which he fears cannot be thought of as even
possible The same reasons which would
exclude the United States from a British
Imperial Confederation may be urged against
diplomatic union by permanent arbitration
court. To the American Republic belongs the
leadership OF continent. nation OF over
sixty millions to-day, it will have population
before many years, as NJ. Laveleye says, OF
over one hundred millions, with an in,prcg-
nable position on the American continent
Such nation neither needs nor desires form

which may have become too hasty already. IL Is
a question whether borrowing more millions
will prove beneficial in the end The country
has a vast quantity of products TO sell, ou'
prices abroad are unusually low. L1uhg
prices above the level of other countries may
not help lis to dispose of our surplus. The
country has lands and town lots for sale, In

whether higher prices for lands and lots DO
not involve hurtful burdens for all productive

questions which President Cleyeland's action

too close an alliance with any European
Power-not even with England. Its true
policy requires the maintenance Of indepcnd-
cnce Of action and rigid adherence to American
canons Of diplomacy. NJ de Laveieyc rightly
assumes that the United States will never DO
drawn into defensive league of the British
Empire, and that it will never consent to take
share in Englands responsibilities as
European Power. With equal cogency he
might have argued that the hard and fast
arbitration scheme would never be popular
here, since it would lead inevitably to sacri-
fees and compromises in American diplomacy.
